Reflection
What was the biggest challenge you faced creating your store?
Overall, the experience was and the only real challenge was just familiarizing myself with where everything is and how it all works together. As someone who's made e-commerce sites before, this experience was great!
What worked really well when using our platform?
The WYSIWYG editor for pages is amazing compared to other editors, such as Wordpress Elementor, Wix, and Squarespace. Also the fact that it only really took two hours to setup the store is great.
What could be improved when using our platform?
This isn't a Shopify-specific thing, but more an issue with how complicated e-commerce and business is in general, but maybe having an interactive tutorial that guides you along with how to make a store? Personally, it wasn't that complicated, but I can imagine for non-tech people, it might be a slight issue.
How did this experience help you build empathy for our merchants?
I struggle with being creative, so this experience, as always, humbles me into realising how hard it is to be creative on the fly, and how much time and energy goes into making creative decisions.
